AB 218 radically changed the legal map. Survivors whose childhood abuse was previously unfileable under statute can now seek justice.
Key Legal Levers:
- It included a three-year revival window plus extended the age cap to 40 years old or within five years of discovery, whichever is longer.
- This revival immediately triggered thousands of claims spanning the 1970s through the present.
- Courts are beginning to understand and validate the delayed disclosure common to trauma survivors.
Data That Attorneys Need:
- Insurance payouts tied to school abuse are skyrocketing—estimates show liability costs rising from $114 million in 2019 to $490 million in 2025.
Filing windows and legislative changes are volatile. Counsel who act now get first-mover advantage in representative actions and consolidations.
